Psalms 92:12

The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree - in contrast to "the wicked," who 'spring as the grass, and do flourish' for a brief space, soon to be "destroyed forever" (). The psalm, as it refers to the Church primarily, has here an allusion to the tabernacle, the holy place of meeting between God and His assembled people (). The holy candlestick in the sanctuary, the symbol of the Church, had the form of a tree with flowers and fruit, to denote the beauty, the ever-fresh joy, and the fruitfulness of the people of God. Figures of flowers were upon the curtains of the tabernacle; and the interior wall of Solomon's temple was decorated with carved palms and opening blossoms (margin, ), along with cherubic figures.

He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon - upright, and ever retaining its fresh verdure. So, spiritually, believers.
